The original CV computational model was proposed in Ref. [1]}.
In analogy to the qubit and qudit stabilizer formalisms [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, CV quantum computation also possesses an efficiently simulable sub-theory, Gaussian computation [5]}.
Unlike in the discrete variable case, however, attempting to encode data in a way that uses the full Hilbert space available to a bosonic mode is physically impossible.
This is because infinite-dimensional data registers are extremely sensitive to noise.
Since every mode can be expected to be exposed to (at least) weak noise sources, entangled modal states will be corrupted by high-weight errors that are beyond the capabilities of quantum error correction.
